Learn More About PowerBerinert for Kidney Transplant Outcomes
Chicago, Illinois
The purpose of this study is to find out if Berinert can improve kidney function in the first year after transplant and to find out what effects, good or bad, Berinert will have in the kidney recipient. This research study will compare Berinert to placebo. The placebo looks exactly like Berinert but does not contain any active drug. Placebos are used in research studies to see if the results are due to the study drug or due to other reasons. Neither you or the study doctor can choose or know which group is assigned.
The primary objective is to test whether intrarenal artery C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) injection into the donor kidney prior to transplantation improves kidney function in recipients of high risk, deceased donor kidney transplants as measured by 12-month Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CDK-EPI)

Regulatory T Cell Therapy for Kidney Transplants
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this multi-national, multi-center, open-label, randomized Phase 2 trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of administering expanded regulatory T cells (TRK-001) to prevent allograft rejection in living donor renal transplant recipients.
Enrolled subjects will be randomized to one of 2 study arms:
Arm 1 subjects will receive standard of care immunosuppression
Arm 2 subjects will receive initial standard of care (SOC) immunosuppression and a single infusion of TRK-001. Three months after the transplant, Arm 2 subjects may be able to begin reducing their immunosuppression medication to a 1-drug regimen.
The primary outcome measures of trial are to evaluate several components indicating immunologic problems with the transplanted organ at 1-year post-transplant and to evaluate the ability for the study subjects given TRK-001 to wean to a 1-drug immunosuppression regimen.
All enrolled subjects will be followed for 5 years post-transplant.

APOL1 Genetic Testing for Kidney Disease
Chicago, Illinois
Living donor (LD) kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, LDs take on a higher risk of future ESKD themselves. African American (AA) LDs have an even greater, 3.3-fold, risk of ESKD than white LDs post-donation. Because evidence suggests that Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) risk variants contribute to this greater risk, transplant nephrologists are increasingly using APOL1 testing to evaluate LD candidates of African ancestry. However, nephrologists do not consistently perform genetic counseling with LD candidates about APOL1 due to a lack of knowledge and skill in counseling about APOL1. Without proper counseling, APOL1 testing will magnify LD candidates' decisional conflict about donating, jeopardizing their informed consent. Given their elevated risk of ESRD post-donation, and AAs' widely-held cultural concerns about genetic testing, it is ethically critical to protect AA LD candidates' safety through APOL1 testing in a culturally competent manner to improve informed decisions about donating.
No transplant programs have integrated APOL1 testing into LD evaluation in a culturally competent manner. Clinical "chatbots," mobile apps that use artificial intelligence to provide genetic information to patients and relieve constraints on clinicians' time, can improve informed treatment decisions and reduce decisional conflict. The chatbot "Gia," created by a medical genetics company, can be adapted to any condition. However, no chatbot on APOL1 is currently available. No counseling training programs are available for nephrologists to counsel AA LDs about APOL1 and donation in a culturally competent manner. Given the shortage of genetic counselors, increasing nephrologists' genetic literacy is critical to integrating genetic testing into practice.
The objective of this study is to culturally adapt and evaluate the effectiveness of an APOL1 testing program for AA LDs at two transplant centers serving large AA LD populations (Chicago, IL, and Washington, DC). The APOL1 testing program will evaluate the effect of the culturally competent testing, chatbot, and counseling on AA LD candidates' decisional conflict about donating, preparedness for decision-making, willingness to donate, and satisfaction with informed consent. The specific aims are to:
1. Adapt Gia and transplant counseling to APOL1 for use in routine clinical practice
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention on decisional conflict, preparedness, and willingness to donate in a pre-post design
3. Evaluate the implementation of this intervention into clinical practice by using the RE-AIM framework to longitudinally evaluate nephrologist counseling practices and LDs' satisfaction with informed consent.
The impact of this study will be the creation of a model for APOL1 testing of AA LDs, which can then be implemented nationally via implementation science approaches. APOL1 will serve as a model for integrating culturally competent genetic testing into transplant and other practices to improve patient informed consent.

HCV-Positive Organ Transplant Safety
Toronto, Ontario
The success of transplantation is significantly hindered by the lack of sufficient number of available donors. Many potential donor organs cannot be utilized in clinical transplantation because donors have chronic viral infections such as hepatitis C (HCV) infection. This study will test the possibility of safely transplanting organs from HCV-infected donors into HCV-uninfected recipients. Prior to transplantation, recipients will receive an initial dose of highly effective antiviral prophylaxis using approved direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) Glecaprevir/Pibrentasvir (G/P) and they will also receive ezetimibe, a cholesterol-lowering medication that also blocks entry of HCV into liver cells. They will then receive daily dosing of the same medications for 7 days after transplant. The aim of the study is to show that transplantation of organs from HCV+ donors is safe in the era of DAAs. The investigators hypothesize that rates of HCV transmission to recipients will be prevented by the use of DAA prophylaxis and any HCV transmission that does occur will be readily treatable and curable. If successful, the knowledge from this study can have a large impact to patients with end stage organ diseases by providing a large novel source of donors for organ transplantations.

Bundle of Care for Kidney Transplant
Toronto, Ontario
The health and quality of life benefits of kidney transplantation are reduced by delayed graft function (DGF). There are a number of modifiable risk factors associated with DGF, such as intraoperative hypotension, the type of intravenous fluid used, glycemic control, and the restriction of blood transfusions. However, these factors have been assessed individually, and their collective effect on reducing the risk of DGF requires further investigation. We first propose a pilot RCT to establish the feasibility of a definitive RCT examining the impact of a treatment bundle of care on DGF.
This will be a single centre, double-blinded pilot RCT including 50 adults undergoing kidney transplantation. Patients will be randomized to either the experimental group, which will consist of a treatment bundle of care, or to the control group, which will consist of routine clinical care for kidney transplant patients. The treatment bundle of care will consist of: the use of plasmalyte for fluid management, maintaining mean arterial pressure \> 75 mmHg, identify and treat blood glucose \> 9 mmol/L, and a restrictive criteria for red blood cell transfusions (i.e. hemoglobin (Hb) \< 70 g/L).
The primary outcome of this pilot study is the recruitment rate. Recruitment rate will be defined as the number of patients who are approached to participate in the study and who are randomized to either the experimental or control group, as a percentage of the total number of eligible kidney transplant patients. The secondary outcomes are: 1) protocol adherence rate and 2) follow-up rate. Protocol success will be defined as a ≥90% compliance with at least 3 of the 4 treatment bundle components. Patient follow-up will end at 90-days after transplant and the target is to follow ≥90% of the patients until this time. DGF and acute rejection will not be assessed in the feasibility trial, and instead this data will be analyzed in the full trial.

EASE for Organ Transplant Recipients
Toronto, Ontario
Many transplant recipients may experience physical and emotional symptoms, such as anxiety, fatigue, sleep problems, pain, etc. Often, these symptoms are not reported or managed well, and can affect a patient's quality-of-life. Transplant recipients are grateful for the "gift of life" but physical and emotional symptoms reduce their quality-of-life. Transplant recipients and caregivers have felt unprepared for the ongoing symptoms and reduced quality-of-life post-transplant.
One way of monitoring and managing these symptoms is using the Emotion And Symptom-focused Engagement (EASE) intervention. EASE was originally developed for patients with acute leukemia and has begun to be adapted to help monitor and manage physical and emotional symptoms for organ transplant recipients.
EASE is comprised of two components:
1. Psychological - 8 supportive counselling sessions delivered by mental health clinicians to address concerns about mental health, losses from organ failure, coping with a transplant, experiences with living on the brink of death for a prolonged period of time, etc.
2. Physical - Regular assessments of physical symptoms using questionnaires and referral to healthcare professionals for symptom management as necessary.
EASE uses questionnaires, also called patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), for symptom assessment and monitoring. PROMs measure symptom severity, similarly to how bloodwork measures organ functioning. PROMs, as part of EASE, will ask recipients questions and help identify relevant physical, emotional, and social symptoms to enhance their care.
With the help of specialists, patients, and support from the Kidney Foundation of Canada, our team has begun to adapt the EASE intervention for transplant recipients. In order to finalize the adaptation of the EASE intervention for use in a routine transplant clinic, we are launching a pre-pilot study to gain real-life experience from managing symptoms of SOT recipients with the use of EASE-SOT.

Empagliflozin for Heart Transplant Recipients
Nashville, Tennessee
Heart transplant (HTx) is an established therapy for advanced heart disease that restores quality of life and improves survival. However, due to preexisting comorbidities combined with the immunosuppressive therapies required after transplantation, HTx recipients remain at high risk for kidney, cardiovascular (CV), and metabolic disease. Large randomized clinical trials have recently shown that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have potent kidney protective and CV benefits in many populations of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), CV disease and/or diabetes. SGLT2i have not been studied prospectively in HTx recipients, which represents a barrier to their use in this population.
In this multicenter randomized controlled trial in Veterans with HTx, investigators will evaluate the potential benefits of empagliflozin on kidney function, cardiometabolic risk, erythropoiesis, and functional status. A total of 200 Veterans will be randomly assigned to receive either empagliflozin 10 mg daily or a matching placebo for 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Kidney Transplant clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Kidney Transplant clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Kidney Transplant trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Kidney Transplant is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Kidney Transplant medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Kidney Transplant clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Semaglutide for Post-Transplant Diabetes, Empagliflozin for Heart Transplant Recipients and Communication Skills Training for Kidney Transplant to the Power online platform.
